Hey all, I've been at my current firm for a while but came across a compelling opportunity for which I want to submit my resume at a growth equity fund. I'm a second year VP, with decent origination experience and have led deals since I was a mid-level associate. Given my position and that the fund does growth equity, would a 1 page or 2 page resume be more appropriate (second page being a deal sheet and first page becoming more "generic" positions and responsiblities)?
If the latter, would I include pretty much all deals I worked on across my positions, even if not closed?
Two pages with the second page being the deal sheet. Focus on deals that you actually got done over things currently in flight.
1 page. Just cull random shit. Not that important
2. If they don't read it, fuck em. You're a king, show them that good experience
Though, if you fill it with trivial bullshit, they will hate you for it being 2 pages
I'm going to make sure my resume is 1 page even if I make it to ceo.
1-page. People at a growth equity shop will know what a VP at a bank does. Don't need alot of responsibility / role fluff.
There are a lot of people in this industry, me included, that strongly feel that resumes should NEVER be longer than 1 page so I would keep it at that. Honestly, a resume should be about highlighting relevant contributions and achievements, you don't have to list every deals you've been involved in (ie. focus on quality, not quantity). Feel free to add a detailed deal sheet as an appendix though

1 page resume and a supplemental deal sheet which could be a page or two long depending on how many deals you've done. Ideally it would be one page as well, unless you've done a lot of deals from end to end and really want to highlight them. Even then, I'd just cherry pick the top 3/4 you can cover in a lot of detail as far as transaction details, thesis, the process work you did, who you managed, etc.
